The Old Bailey Online project

The Old Bailey Online project is a digital archive that brings together a wealth of historical court records from the Old Bailey, London's central criminal court, dating from 1674 to 1913. It allows users to access transcripts of trials, witness testimonies, and verdicts, providing insight into legal practices, societal norms, and criminal justice during that period. The project is valuable for researchers, educators, and the public, as it illuminates the history of crime and punishment in England, reflecting broader social and cultural trends of the time.
